The aggressive anti-Trump fundraising group had previously dared Trump to follow through on a promise to sue over her latest campaign ad, which accused him of funneling campaign money into his own pockets and called his supporters “whores ». Trump blasted the Project on his personal social network Truth Social early Thursday morning, calling them “broad and condescending” and claiming he would sue them for “false advertising.” After giving no further details, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said Friday: “Donald Trump hasn’t been telling the truth for 20 hours. Shit.” Since then, Trump has released several more “truths,” but none about the ad. Founded by current and former Republicans who opposed Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign, the Lincoln Project has become known for personal feuds with the real estate mogul. “Cuck,” literally short for “cuckold,” is a crude sexual insult originating in far-right online communities that entered the mainstream in 2015 during Mr. Trump’s initial campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. The term – and its variant “conservative” – was happily adopted by Breitbart News under its then-executive chairman Steve Bannon, who later joined Mr Trump’s team and reportedly applied the word to his White House colleague Jared Kushner. In his earlier message to Mr Trump on Thursday morning, Mr Wilson said: “Go ahead, b****! Come to me. I can not wait. It makes us happy to think… “You won’t, because in fact you are, as I said before, completely incapable. Just ask [Mr Trump’s wife] Inks”. Mr Trump’s charge of “perverts” may have been a reference to Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver, who has been accused of sending unsolicited sex messages to a number of young men. Mr Weaver apologized for the “inappropriate” behavior and resigned from the Project. USA Today’s analysis found that Mr. Trump frequently threatens lawsuits but rarely follows through when the threat involves defamation of him.
